What is needed to combat the overwhelming level of belief in God?

[Cecelia]

No offense, Nestor, but this has to be one of the most blatant attempts at making lemonade out of lemons ever made.

A couple of billion people with virtually unlimited resources begin to turn their attention to how to dismantle atheism's arguments, and you consider this a good thing?

Regardless of your personal opinions of the arguments made by believers, having more people working to learn and to improve them does NOT advance your cause in the least.

And despite the wishful thinking of some here, really smart, educated atheists do sometimes convert as a result of well-crafted philosophical arguments. 

Google don't lie.

Here's why there being more apologetics is a good thing:

#1. It signals the rise of skepticism.  More and more people are openly questioning God, rather than sitting quietly and believing.  They have started having to answer the questions.  Soon people will stop accepting their stupid answers.  

#2. No matter how much money they put into it, they aren't going to make better arguments than they have been.   They're arguing for a 2000 year old book written by a bunch of guys who had no better idea of how the world works than a newborn baby.  It's impossible to defend too many things in the bible without using bad science.  And Atheists are capable of combating bad science fairly easily.  You can't manufacture evidence of there having been ten plagues of Egypt, you can't manufacture evidence of the tower of babel.  You can try, but people are starting to see through all the bullshit.

#3. It doesn't matter how much they waste on apologetics, because society is moving on.  Gays and Lesbians are becoming accepted at an astounding rate.  Contraception, decried by the church, is seen as a solution to the aids crisis.   The younger generation is becoming harder and harder to indoctrinate.  The age of the internet has helped 'kill' god.  It's given Atheists a voice, and their voice is the voice of reason.
